One of the toughest songs I ever learned to play on guitar. Even after I discovered an article that gave the odd tuning, I was months working it out. Black Mountainside by LZ.



Sounds like it should have been played on a citar.

Ok I'm kidding, Soft Cell's version is far better (for my tastes).

If you want a truly awe inspiring song that you'll never have heard of in the english speaking world:

Ah, te vi entre las luces. (Ah, I saw you amidst the lights).

This is an 11 minute epic is by an Argentinian 70's band called "La Maquina De Hacer Pajaros" ("The Bird-Making Machine.").

Since there is no place where you could possibly sample their AMAZING music, check them out at this guy's blog: http://therevengeofthefools.blogspot.com/2008/01/la-maquina-de-hacer-pajaros-la-maquina.html" You can get the album where the song is.
And there is a song from each of their albums streaming at prog archives: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=815.

Their first album (and the last album, "Instituciones," from Charly Garcia's previous band "Sui Generis") is absolutely amazing (and, IMHO infinitely better than their second album; and had it been recorded by an english band, it would have unquestionably found its righteous place in any list amongst the great classics of 20th century rock). I'm sure when you hear it you'll want to get your hands on a hard copy of both right away (or else you suck and have no taste :smile:).

Then in the 80's he went crazy and his music stopped being good.

But seriously, Ah, te vi entre las luces: check it out it'll blow your brains out. That whole first self titled album will actually.

Lyrics:

Nadie habla en la sala,
nadie de pie.
¿Estás lista para viajar?
¿Estás lista para venir?
Está bien, está bien, está bien...
Estás sentada en el aire.
Nada de luz esperando que marquen tres,
esperando verme otra vez
Está bien, está bien, está bien...
Ah! Te vi entre las luces
con tu cara toda azul...

My attempt at a sensical translation:

Nobody speaks in that room
Nobody stands
Are you ready to travel?
Are you ready to come?
It's OK, it's OK, it's Ok...
It's OK; you are
Sitting on the air, no light
Waiting for them to mark three
Waiting to see me again
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok...
Ah! I saw you amidst the lights!
With your face all blue...

Kottke--went to one of his concerts --sat about 15 ft away

Can't figure out how to link directly to the song, but the audio quality is much better than on youtube.

Just click on the http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=61328137" link, one of my favorite songs by Mr. Kottke.

Or you can click on the "Vaseline Machine Gun" link and it will play all six of his songs in sequence.

And best of all, there's no video. So you can listen and get back to PF where you belong. :smile:

that link doesn't work on my system--is it the same as?:




playing Kottke and Peter Lang's ' The Thing at the Nursery Room Window' always set a mood

My favorite new band (as in from the ones formed in the past two or three years): Made Out Of Babies.

Sick song:

Also the first metal/sludge band I hear with a female singer that ... well doesn't suck. Far from it, this girl puts the boys to shame.

Still if we can make the effort

Maybe we can leave this much behind

Misfits/Samhain were fantastic! (danzig era, of course)
A friend of mine worked at Caroline records until the early 90s...heard some interesting stories!

My favourites:
Hybrid Moments


Astro Zombies


Archangel (Samhain)

I think 'Zombie' by the Cranberries (a protest song) belongs here as well: http://www.yamelo.com/clip/the-cranberries/21537_the-cranberries_zombie.html

This is the song that I can't get out of my head at the moment. I just watched Sweeney Todd staring Johnny Depp. He really is an amazing actor. turns out he can sing too.

Battery by Metallica. Specifically the cover by Van Canto as well, it's quite incredible.

Omg..I've finally found the name to the song I have been singing to on the radio.
It's the song I've always wanted to know the name to.

It's this: Chicago=> You're the inspiration
BEST SONG EVER

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0jFSQp-Kw8
It's the song that I love the best out of all the songs I have listened to, past and present. (60's- present)
